Skin Scrubs

You may be covered up in long pants and sweaters for many of the coming months. But that doesn't mean you should ignore your skin until spring. I've tracked down some delicious-smelling scrubs that can help you maintain soft skin all year round.


H20plus.com not only offers you scrubs in seasonally appropriate scents like sugar plum and sweet almond, this site also has gift packs including scrubs, lotions and much more, in addition to loofah gloves, natural sea sponges and the Sloofah wash cloth alternative. You'll find a whole lot of other exfoliating bath and body products to love here, in addition to a 4% ConsumerClub.com discount.


TheBodyShop.com delivers scrubs in powerful scents I've loved for years. Pink grapefruit. Brazil nut. Papaya. The floral, fruity mix of the Africa Spa Salt Scrub. Take your pick or get one of each. You'll earn a 4% ConsumerClub.com rebate as you stock up on these pampering essentials and any others you want.


Why stop there? Try something a little different with the hand-made scrubby soaps on LushUSA.com. Scents and ingredients range from Porridge to Spice Curls to Bamboo to the one called I Should Coco, which smells very similar to a Pina Colada. All this and you also get to earn a 3% ConsumerClub.com rebate.

DVD Player Deals

After nine years of solid service, my good old DVD player was finally too far gone to save. So I went online hunting for a new one at a great price. Here's what I found:


Wal-Mart.com has simple DVD players by Samsung, JVC and other brands starting at less than $50. Sounds good to me, as I for one don't need a lot of bells and whistles. For those who do, you'll find dozens of others with DVD changers, recorders and additional fun extras. And you'll earn a 2% ConsumerClub.com rebate on all your purchases here.


Boscovs.com has a nice selection of portable DVD players, including the Fisher Price Kid-Tough variety and other portable options, in addition to stationary players by JVC, Sony and Panasonic. There are also a few nice DVD/VHS combo devices for those of you still holding onto your favorite old movies on tape. And there's a 3% ConsumerClub.com rebate waiting to be earned here.

Hang your coat.

The weather outside is already getting frightful. So it's time to bring all the jackets, sweatshirts and heavy coats to the front of your closet. Better yet, hang your favorites right by the front door on an affordable new coat rack.


Check out the many coat racks available on Organize.com. My favorite is the Umbra Flip Hook Coat Rack. But there are plenty of other great-looking options you can easily hang over a door, attach to your wall or just stand up near high-traffic entrances. The prices here are great. And you'll also earn a 4% ConsumerClub.com rebate here.


UrbanOutfitters.com has a fresh, funky take on coat hooks. You'll see a variety of fruits, flowers, feathered friends, phrases and more surprising ideas atop a spot to hang your coat, hat and more. Any of these options will be happy distraction in the midst of dismal weather. And you'll earn a 3% ConsumerClub.com discount on the already-affordable decor in this site.
